Abstract
The present disclosure describes the use of growth models and data driven models that are combined for quickly and efficiently modeling SAGD reservoir oil production. Growth function surrogate models are used for efficient and reliable reservoir modeling and production forecasting as opposed to CPU intensive simulations based on finite difference models. A data-driven technique can then compare the growth function surrogate model with real field data to find discrepancies and inconsistencies between the two, allowing for an updates and improvements of the growth function model.
